A Australian friend of mine, having lived in Indonesia for ten years and not enjoying it any more, came to Vietnam to visit for a week or two. He loved it and is still here almost ten years later.

Yeah well we would love to live here for a long time to. But we need to find jobs in the teaching centres or at a school to be able to do that. Glad your friend is enjoying the country as much as we are. If you know of any jobs or hear of any in teaching please contact me. Greatly appreciated.

They are generally very nice people Nick and you shouldn't have too much trouble finding teaching work. My advice: Enjoy . Take your time . Get to know your local area and people a little . Read around this聽 ( very good ) website and others for jobs. Best of luck.聽聽

If you have TEFL certificates聽 Nick, there should be no problem at all. Check the small ads, and even better, get together a list of your local language schools and a stack of printed CVs聽 and certificates and go round and personally hand them in to the recruitment office or secretary.
